Road Madness drops you into a adventure challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. Think racing, car and shooting — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Road Madness
If you like race cars and guns, you will love this game! You can upgrade and unlock more destructive cars, the further you get. Enjoy epic effects and power-ups while hunting the new bosses and get achievements for it!
How to play Road Madness
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
